The Longing video was directed by Carl Jackson in San Diego CA. When the video was released it was met with mix reviews. Carl wanted a visual canvas of where all girls start before lifes journey. The best review came from fans. The directors favorite fan review was as follows: " When I watch the video I see a young girl....mature beyond her years...because she has no option. She has chosen to embrace the BEAUTY of LIFE. This piece is thought-provoking and almost overwhelming."
